    [SOLVED] 850w or 1000w PSU?

    I am looking to purchase a new PSU, and in the future I am planning on installing an AIO CPU cooler, although I have not picked one out yet. However, I need to purchase the PSU a lot sooner than the AIO. I am not sure if I should purchase an 850w PSU or a 1000w PSU. I am planning on doing some...

    Question PC Drastically Underperforming

    Same GPU and monitor resolution, installed on an SSD for both of us (not exactly sure which type of SSD), same amount of memory but his is overclocked to 3200mhz while mine is at 3000mhz, the main difference is that he has a 9900k and i have a 2700x. Originally I thought the performance gap...

    Question PC Drastically Underperforming

    No, the GPU never goes above 75c or so in benchmarks or games. When I said " I'm not sure if it's handling such a powerful GPU very well" I meant in the aspect of data travel, not power. Sorry shoulda specified that A friend of mine with pretty similar specs gets around 80-100 in Online. It...

    Question PC Drastically Underperforming

    In GTA Online on Ultra settings I get about 60-70 FPS average. I realize that the fact that i’m on 1080p is an issue and i’m hoping to upgrade to a 1440p monitor in the future but for now I’ve turned on DSR to x2 in the nvidia control panel, but it hasn’t made any obvious difference. Is this...

    [SOLVED] Motherboard Upgrade Suggestions?

    Thanks for the suggestion. And I have been getting very low benchmark scores for my hardware, and I've tried many many things to try to get performance up and I've narrowed the problem down to either my motherboard being kinda old, my GPU being faulty somehow, or my CPU bottlenecking my GPU...

    Question PC Drastically Underperforming

    Removing 2 of the ram sticks worked, my ram can overclock to 3000mhz now. But I'm still getting poor benchmarking scores and low framerates in games. I'm suspecting it might be my motherboard, I got it in 2017 and I'm not sure if it's handling such a powerful GPU very well. Not 100% sure though

    [SOLVED] Motherboard Upgrade Suggestions?

    I am looking to purchase a new motherboard, as the ROG Strix B350-F I have currently is pretty outdated and doesn't seem to run well with the GPU I recently purchased. I need a motherboard that supports and runs well with the Ryzen 7 2700x and the ROG Strix RTX 2080 Ti that I have currently. I'm...

    Question PC Drastically Underperforming

    (PC Specs Below) A couple days ago I purchased a Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080 Ti 11GB in order to have better game performance. I upgraded from an EVGA GTX 1060 3GB. However, after I installed the new GPU, I found my games to be running at speeds that were slower than I expected. There was a small...
